数字时代的国家理论

Theory of the State in the Digital Age

21世纪以来,以大数据、人工智能为代表的新技术革命迅猛发展,人类进入数字时代,国家的实践形态呈现出新现象、新特征,诞生于工业文明时代的现代国家理论面临挑战。基于对马克思主义国家学说的分析提出了国家理论的核心要素,即暴力、疆域、制度和国家能力。以此为框架,分析新技术革命下国家理论的困境,在概念化新技术革命背景下国家实践新形态、新现象基础上,赋予国家理论核心概念新的内涵:暴力吸收了数字暴力、疆域吸收了数字主权、制度吸收了数字政府、国家能力吸收了数字治理等内容,以此丰富概念内涵,建构数字时代的国家理论。

Since the beginning of the 21st century,the new technological revolution represented by big data and artificial intelligence has developed rapidly and humanity has entered the digital age.State practice form has taken on new forms and characteristics,and the modern state theory,born of the age of industrial civilization,is being challenged.Based on an analysis of the Marxist doctrine of the state,we propose the core elements of state theory to be violence,territory,institutions and state capacity.Within this framework,we analyze the dilemmas of state theory on the basis of conceptualizing the new forms and phenomena of state practice in the context of the new technological revolution,giving new connotations to the core concepts of state theory:incorporating digital violence under violence,digital sovereignty under territory,digital government under institutions,and digital governance under state capacity.By enriching the connotations of these concepts,we try to propose a state theory for the digital age.
